Meat Restaurant Adds Veg Options for First Time in 118 Years

After 118 years in business, restaurant Tunday Kababi in Lucknow, India has decided to add vegetarian options to its long-standing meat-centric kebab menu. The eatery was founded by one-armed-chef Haji Murad Ali Tunday more than a century ago and is now run by his grandson Mohammad Rizwan. In addition to adding items such as vegetarian biryani, chana dal, and a vegetable kebab option—featuring potato, ridged gourd, and yam—Tunday set up a second kitchen to keep vegetarian and meat items separate. “For several years, we have been getting requests to develop a vegetarian menu, and now our patrons are happily welcoming it,” Rizwan said.
